Man granted clemency by Gov. Huckabee suspected of killing 4 cops in Washington

Why was his original sentence commuted?  Why were his other charges dropped?  I don't think large, violent, psychotic, poor African-American men receive that much soft treatment by our criminal justice system.

I believe it was because he was only 17 when he was convicted.

So ageism strikes again...

I'm not justifying it - in fact, Huckabee's stance on law and order issues were one of the main reasons I didn't support him.

It's almost impossible to predict what offender will offend again if released on parole or due to some executive clemency. The quadruple killing, so seemingly senseless, should demonstrate the obvious about jailbirds; many of them are consummate liars, people who can present themselves as more innocent than you or I.

A reason not to grant clemency, in my opinion.
